Genetic Algorithms and Soft Computing

Soft Computing is concerned with modes of computing in which precision is treated for tractability, robustness and ease of implementation, and it contains Fuzzy Sets and Genetic Algorithms among its components. Each of them have different advantages to deal with nonlinearity or explicit knowledge expression, but learning capability, as well as global and local search approaches provided by Genetic Algorithms are remarkable. This book will be revealing for all those interested in new developments and practical applications in the interface between Soft Computing and Genetic Algorithms.
